Hell, anyone on here who says they wouldnt take the money has either never raced/bred a horse or is romaticizing the sport way too much.

Why not also take into account the fact that a horse can run 4 times a year and still be given championship honors??? Isnt that effecting the "imagination" and "glory" of the sport???

If you really want to put a "limit" or "statue" on something, I think a minimum amount of starts a year before you can become elligible for certain awards/honors should be implemented.
I think that would be a great idea.
